UK to Nepal - A FABulous Journey Mr. Luke Parsons

-


My name is Luke Parsons and I am a recent university graduate from the UK. I first heard about the GATE FAB hospitality school from a contact at Right4Children and was immediately intrigued. I found its real-world approach to education and training unique and having just worked for 8 months in hospitality as a bartender I was very keen to get involved in any way possible. 

Luckily I was able to come to Nepal, see the beautiful school and meet its students for myself. My aim was to help the incredibly passionate team at FAB in any way possible and also to learn a lot from both them and the students. Since my arrival three weeks ago, I have so far been teaching customer service skills in English to the students who constantly surprise me with their progress and attitude. I have also been using my background in Economics to assist the team in their proposals for a FAB restaurant which will help train the students and also showcase the school.

I am extremely excited for the future of the GATE FAB school - I know the restaurant will be a success and that it will be quickly followed by businesses in laundry and dairy production which will offer the students even more training opportunities. I am also eager to see the current class graduate and to see their progress by the end of their course. I am sure they will leave with a new-found confidence and with skills to ensure they have successful careers.

Namaste everyone!! I am Nabin Chamlagain from Belbari, Morang an Eastern part of Nepal. I grew up and spend most of my childhood in a typical village area with my family. Growing through village life, i was a kind of shy and silent type of person in general. I love cooking whenever I am free and also love to play football. I do help mom in the kitchen too. Accustomed to being around primary adults, I was always mature for my age. Even my own friends often annoyed me during my adolescent years. I did well in school, often knowing how to do complex math problems before the concept had even been introduced to our class. For my higher study, I choose a hospitality course at Bright Future College at Salakpur Morang. Sharing about my high school experience I began to tire of the pressure placed on me by my family and their higher expectation. I gradually stopped my extracurricular activities, including playing football, hanging out with friends, and start focusing on study, and I have
